Refom uk is not for straying sheep it is to round up the wolves. labour was the velvet glove to the torries mailed fist but it was still the hand of the bourgeoise and it stepped past its role by backing the banderites and zionists. now labour is indistinguishable from the torries and as they are both losing support they will bind together and will need a new controlled opposition.
You aren’t entirely wrong in saying this, but what does, “round up the wolves” mean? Reform certainly has a lot of petty bourgeois/bourgeois backing, but a substantial amount of their backing comes from the working class. Their rhetoric reflects this appeal to the proletariat, as seen in the following excerpt:
You are worse off, both financially and culturally. Wages are stagnant, we have a housing crisis, our young people struggle to get on the property ladder, we have rising crime, energy bills are some of the highest in Europe, the NHS isn’t working, both legal and illegal immigration are at record levels and woke ideology has captured our public institutions and schools.
He isn’t a revolutionary marxist he is a kautskyite.
Don’t put words in my mouth, I never claimed he was a revolutionary Marxist. Corbyn is no Mamdani, but nowhere near as bad as Sanders. He has good takes, and bad ones. Corbyn isn’t even all that relevant as the party will be a grassroots, down-up one; Communists and real socialists can and will take advantage of this in the upcoming party conferences to decide the party’s direction.
No. Communist parliamentary participation can raise class consciousness. Social democrats use of socialist language disillusions people, often permanently. When they call themselves “Socialists” and their reforms fail it poisons the well for Real Socialists.
And where do they turn to? The worst that could happen is the acceleration of the turn to fascism, and then Socialism. More likely is that the masses realise that reform of any kind is not the answer to their problems. What happens in the aftermath of this situation depends on communist parties’ handling of it by guiding the masses towards revolution.
Edit: I wrote “top down” to describe the party instead of, “down-up”
